Broader concept

Entry terms

  • Glycol Glycosylase, Thymine
  • Glycosylase, Thymine Glycol
  • G T Mismatch Specific Thymine DNA Glycosylase
  • G-T Mismatch-Specific Thymine DNA Glycosylase
  • Thymine Glycol DNA Glycosylase
  • Thymine Glycol Glycosylase

Scope note

  • An enzyme that removes THYMINE and URACIL bases mispaired with GUANINE through hydrolysis of their N-glycosidic bond. These mispaired nucleotides generally occur through the hydrolytic DEAMINATION of 5-METHYLCYTOSINE to thymine.

History note

  • 2004; use THYMINE DNA GLYCOSYLASE (NM) 1991-2003
